The middle of April has brought with it some cooler temperatures and overcast skies that have cooled the demand for air conditioning in Orlando. Without the heat in full gear, there is still time for homeowners to take advantage of great rates on air conditioning maintenance. Having maintenance done on your home's air conditioner or heat pump is comparable to changing oil in a car. The technician is able to diagnose how the system is performing and identify parts that may have become worn or corroded and may be likely to fail. As a homeowner, you can help in the process by changing your filters regularly and by cleaning grills, registers and any debris that may be around your unit.

One of the most important aspects of your HVAC maintenance is the coil cleaning. With time, debris and other materials become stuck to the coil making it less efficient. Coils should be cleaned regularly to ensure your system is not working harder than it has to. In addition to cleaning the coils, the maintenance technician will also clear any obstructions in the blower wheel, check refrigerant levels, lubricate and tighten fittings and belts as well as calibrate a thermostat. Small electrical parts such as contactors and capacitors will be examined for corrosion and may be replaced as need be. For just a couple dollars, a homeowner can take advantage of a preventative repair instead of paying high costs when a system fails in the middle of summer.

With cold weather forecasted through the end of next week in Orlando, you can still save big on AC maintenance. If you want to have the peace of mind your HVAC system is running at peak efficiency with minimal risk of a break down, contact Melco HVAC Services of Orlando today to schedule service this week.
